How does MSNBC rationalize it? |
|
Last night both Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow did solid reporting to show how many of the people distrupting town hall meeting are being encouraged and funded by conservative groups and lobbists of the insurance industry. Yet this morning on Morning Joke, Joey and his sychophants laugh off the notion that these people are anything but concerned citizens, in a sense refuting what Keith & Rachel reported.
How does MSNBC rationalize one host on their network esentially saying what other hosts said is a lie?

8. I watch it to get some idea what today's talking points are going to be |
|
without subjecting myself to the even worse Faux News. There are times, however, when I can't stomach it and have to turn it off or change the channel.

3. well, keith and rachel are on at night.... while scarborough is on in the morning... |
|
so I guess they just think no one will notice. i don't know. I mean, it would seem that the FACTS regarding this support the fact that these people are not 'concerned citizens' but people who have been paid and bussed from meeting to meeting with the sole purpose of disrupting.... I don't know how that fact doesn't warrant being on every show that discusses the issue... since it IS the facts.

is when Joe snottily makes reference to Keith and Rachel, without saying their names of course. Like "Liberals...SOME ON THIS NETWORK....are 'claiming'.." etc. I'd rather he call them out by name, because I would LOVE for Keith and Rachel to be able to call Morning Joe out on THEIR constant bs.

5. If these fabricated groups weren't being reported on by Keith/Rachel, it would be CONSPIRACY THEORY! |
|
Guaranteed.
A supervisor where I work walked by a small group of us yesterday, and mind you this guy is normally not given to expressing political views in front of employees, and he was really wound up over these fabricated right-wing groups disrupting these town hall meetings, and specifically cited Keith Olbermann's show on the subject. You could tell he was relieved that some of us knew exactly what he meant. Some people are paying attention.

9. Judging by the amazing number of DUers who are glued to Morning Joe every day, ... |

... it's a strategy the works. That's why they do it.
Quit watching.

10. I will never understand some DUers attraction to Mourning Joe |
|
I cant watch five minutes of that horseshit show without it making my stomach turn. It insults my intelligence to even have it on in the background. There are no good news shows in the morning so I usually have it on ESPN and read blogs.
